ya know? Let Stan have some fun. for all the fun he's given the world, and for what he's gotten in return, he deserves to have some fun. I'd pay him to make mud pies at this point. It's not like he's going to get rich for all the work he did.

since moving from Seattle to Orange, I have really missed Emerald City Comic con. My GF and I went to Comikaze on Sunday to check it out - not too bad. We spent most of the time in the artist alley. All the celebs on Saturay had already left, leaving only Joe Bob Briggs and Sybil Danning (which aint too bad!). Since activision was there, I was hoping for some heavy Skylanders promotion - maybe an exclusive figurine or 2! But it was all about the new Walking Dead.

I have a 2006-ish live radio instudio of Peter Murphy and NIN doing 4 Joy Division songs on the occasion of Ian Curtis' death-day.....actually....I'm not sure if that was the occasion but there are 4 JD songs in any event.

Being a big music nut, and a fan of horror, Halloween is something I like to have a bit of fun with. We hang all kinds of creepy things outside, put a bunch of realistic fake tombstones in the yard with a freshly covered "grave" with a bloody hand sticking out... black lights, big strobes & all that kind of stuff. I have some DJ gear, so I rig a computer with sound effects & music playing through a powered EV speaker under the deck, and when the kids ring the doorbell, I or my wife emerge in costume from a thick cloud of eerie purple fog (750w fog machine and a black light cannon inside the front door) with the goodies. Rather than play the usual cheesy Halloween music on trick or treat night, I like to play good creepy stuff.

A couple of kids were walking up the street to my house when this song hit the 2:50 mark.

The kids stopped in the street, looked at each other, and turned around and left in a big hurry. Most of the kids think it's cool as Hell, tho.
